E91 Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo - A slight downgrade

[cat171]

You can't sell it on how it is now, unless Mr Magoo comes round! (mind you, you bought it :tongueout I'd get it looking mint as it's a stupidly rare car.

 

[alistairolsen]

If it's a full job, for 950, just get it done. You'll make that back easily, should be more like 2-2.5k imho

 

[Gally]

£950 is frightening. If it's cash in his hand then I can quite believe it.

It is. Would be done after hours. Materials and parts and nearly £450 of it.

 

[Daz...]

I need to find me a body shop like that!

Someone there obviously has a boner for your car then mate! Expext an offer when it's all done[emoji38]

Paint work booked in for the end of next month.

Looks like it's Resto Time!

 

[alistairolsen]

Ordered the gold stickers yet?

No.

I've put an offer on some in Individual Bamboo Wood. May as well go all out.

One of those cars...if you know...you know!

Good man!!

Thats a fairly reasonable price if somebody is doing you a favour cash in hand.

I did passenger wing, passenger door, both rear quarters, rear bumper and front bumper for £350 mates rates on a 3dr mk4 Golf

You need Birch like in my old e46 really, maximum Jewlevels.

 

[_Tom]

I actually love the wood tbh. I may be broken.

 

[Gally]

At least it will be a tidy one when you need to sell it in 3 months due to boredom.

 

[Waitey]

LOL no birch.

Just been for the rear tyres fitted. Turns out Alpina wheels have to have the tyres fitted while face done. The fitter doesn't have the gear to do this. FFS.

Have to go somewhere else tomorrow now.

My old e91 exclusive had the black bamboo trim in it, beautiful!!

They were the only models to be sold with it in the UK. Its so bloody rare.

 

[Scrooge]

Once painted will you sell it before it's been to the moon and back?

 

[Waitey]

What's the crack with the tyres, why do they have to be face down? Surely they just push on the rim like any other?

I have no idea. It even mentions it in the hand book.

Unsure. It's pretty low mileage for what it is. 72k an its 7 years old.

 

[Scrooge]

Oh fair enough, plenty of room for you to add on more then

There a mint one for sale with 110k on for £12k. If I got near that after putting 40k miles on mine I'd be well happy! My cost per mile would be tiny!

 

[Waitey]

Some pressed plates have just arrived for it. Never had them before. They are pretty cool.

Will tidy it up a lot, as the current plates are horrid!

How much, legality of them, where from etc?

Like I said I've never had any before. Anyway willing to try a different look. Will have some standard "Sytner Nottingham" (Supplying dealer for all Alpina's) ones made up too.

[Waitey]

Bar the scene bags, you may find stripe inspiration in this.

And £950 for a paint job is an utter bargain, aslong as it's not a rushed orange peel job, then it's a no brainer.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Thing is orange peel would be as close to factory as you can get.

I did 400 miles none stop in this from the office to Aberdeen. It gave nearly 55mpg. Awesome motorway car.

Get the odd wave from car people too! Its looks sheddy atm with no centre caps on, and marks in the dirt highlighting where it needs painting lol

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Anymore on this squire?
